This morning, as soon as Damian and I left the house, the pack’s security guards stopped us. They said a group of men in black came to our house last night and stood at the door, guarding it. About half an hour later, they left. The security guards thought it was a little strange, but they figured it might be our relatives or something, since it was our mating night. He didn’t see a need to mention it until this morning. “But something felt off about it after I found out what happened, so I called you, but you didn’t answer. Then I remembered the strange people who came to the mating ceremony yesterday, and I was worried that something might have happened to you, so I rushed over here.” No wonder Harper and Damian hadn’t left yet. I probably would have delayed as well, though I felt terrible this was all because of me. “I’m so sorry, Harper. Yesterday, I had some trouble. There was a very important contract with Beta Starke, but I kept delaying giving it to him.So he got angry with m
Not get married?” Harper’s eyes widened. “I didn’t picture you for being an old cat lady.” “I was just joking.” Taya giggled. A giggle. That was good. Harper drew in a sigh of relief. She was probably just overreacting. Taya had always been the well-behaved and sensible one. Ever since they were little, Taya was the cautious one in their duo. She would never act recklessly, so there was nothing for Harper to worry about. After Harper and Taya chatted a bit more about the mating ceremony and the moonlight ritual, Damian came to pick Harper up. He had changed their flight to Malaysia to the evening, and Taya happened to be free, so she dropped them off at the airport. After telling Harper and Damian to have fun, I waved goodbye to them. After getting home, I went to the bathroom to wash up. My mind was a jumbled mess. It was very strange. Being touched by Roman made me feel disgusted. However, I didn’t feel disgusted when Greyson…did what he did.It wasn’t fully pleasurable, and he was
I’ll wait for half an hour. After sending this message, Greyson didn’t send anything else. He’d given his final word, and it seemed that was that. I wished I knew who he was in the wolf shifter hierarchy of things. Was he an Alpha who was used to having what he wanted when he wanted it? Or was he someone who was a Nobody was enjoying exerting power over a human girl. Power he didn’t have over anyone else. Something told me he was powerful no matter who he was, with. Especially if he truly had been behind what happened to Roman. I handed over the text messages to the shifter police, Mentioning Roman, since there was surveillance footage of him entering and leaving the hotel room. The police would investigate Roman and collect any evidence they could. But if Greyson told the police I wanted to kill Roman, that I had Drugs and a dagger there to do it… the shifter packs wouldn’t be lenient on me. They would charge me for attempted murder, and I knew how that would play out in a courtroom.
My tactics only delayed the inevitable. His movements were quick and domineering, and then I was pressed against the wall. After hugging and kissing me for a while, he surprised me with a hard pinch on my waist. “Ouch!” I yelped out. As soon as I opened my mouth to speak, his lips were on mine, his tongue invading my mouth. His kiss was still as wild as before, but the way he touched me was much softer than the last time. As if he were very familiar with my body, he touched me in just the right places, just the right way. His actions were so skilled, they made me feel like I wasn’t being forced… I wanted to beat myself to death as soon as that thought entered my head. How could this be pleasure? But …We had sex several times, and every time I sank into it. It was no different from when I was with Griffon. I even couldn’t help scratching his back later as we lay in bed. Was I completely crazy to think that this man’s body was compatible with mine? Greyson bit my earlobe and whispered,
The receptionist politely shook her head. “I’m sorry, I don’t know,” Even if she knew who it was, she wouldn’t dare to share information regarding a VIP. I knew better than to ask, but I was desperate. There wasn’t anything else for me here right now, and I couldn’t ask any more questions, so I thanked the woman and left the hotel. I grabbed my heart pills from my bag, but the bottle was empty. Sigh. Now I had to make a trip to the hospital. Joy. My favorite thing. The attending doctor asked about my physical condition, as usual. When he asked about my sleeping habits and I told him, he frowned. “Ms. Palmer, I’d like to admit you. I’m worried about the state of your heart, and I’d like to run some tests and see if we can’t find a new treatment option for you.” I refused. Staying in the hospital was just waiting for death, and I wasn’t going to waste the last moments of my life in some cold, sterile room.Besides, what else were they going to do for me? It wasn’t like they were going t
Are you going to look for Elder Thorin?” Tara, dressed in a professional suit that looked immaculate on her, saw that I was waiting for the elevator but did not step in. Her question pulled me out of my daze, and I came to my senses. I hurriedly came up with a reason not to step foot on that elevator. “I’m sorry, I forgot something.” Spinning on my heel, I turned around and left, not daring to look at the two of them. Watching her run away, Tara couldn’t help but turn to look at Griffon, who was standing beside her. “That was strange. How come she seemed so scared of us that she wouldn’t get on the elevator?” Griffon didn’t reply. His indifferent eyes showed no emotion, as if he was uninterested in anything around him. Tara reached out her delicate hand, took his arm, and said softly, “Griffon, thank you for taking me to the emergency room the other night.I haven’t had wolfs bane in so long, I didn’t know it would affect me that way.” During a visit to the Knight pack with her father
The blood drained from my face, and the young man from the past’s face came back to my mind. I tried my best to control my emotions. I knocked on the open. Door and asked respectfully, “Elder Thorin, you wanted me?” Brooks put down the coffee cup and looked up at me. “Taya, you're responsible for the welcoming of the Sterling pack, aren’t you?” I nodded. “Yes, sir.” Brooks glanced at his watch. “Please arrange dinner for this evening. You can book a high-end restaurant for six p.m., and I’d like for you to go to the airport to pick up Alpha Sterling.” “Pick up Alpha Sterling?” We worked with packs from all over the Midwest, and most of them made trips into MPC to handle business with other packs on neutral territory, or to arrange projects between packs. Many times, a pack wouldn’t have the labor force for new construction, roads, utilities, and the like, so they contracted other packs to do the work via MPC. We ensured everything was above-board and there were no side deals. being ma
Brooks wanted Griffon to go to dinner. He wanted Griffon to mediate the issues between the Sterling pack and the Midwest Packs Corporation. Only if Griffon handled the situation and explained things would the Sterling pack conform. With Griffon being the powerful Alpha he was, his word tended to be law, even over the elders. Otherwise, with Tara being the new CEO, smoothing things over with the Sterling pack would be her job, and Brooks knew that it would be impossible for her to do-given the fact that her relationship with Griffon was the crux of the issue. But right now, Griffon appeared to be unhappy, and that put Brooks on edge. After all, he couldn’t figure out Griffon’s feelings for Tara now that she’d returned, so he was unable to ask Griffon to do things as his father-in-law. He needed to be cautious with how he worded things and with what requests. he made. As an elder, Brooks wielded a certain amount of power, but Griffon and the Knight pack were a different beast altogether
